Agilent Technologies Inc. and the University of Duisburg-Essen have formed a collaboration agreement that brings together Agilent’s leading analytical technologies with the university’s outstanding researchers.

As part of the collaboration, Agilent will support the university with a broad range of instruments to equip a new Agilent-sponsored Teaching and Research Centre for Separation (TRC).

The state-of-the-art centre will feature Agilent’s gas and liquid chromatography systems as well as a variety of its mass spectrometry instruments—and will be used to demonstrate the company’s unique workflow capabilities.

The focus of the centre will be on teaching students and industry employees; from technicians to managers, graduates to postdocs, about separation science and training them in the use of modern analytical equipment. It will support an extensive cross-section of research activities in biomedicine, nanotechnology, and other life science specialties.
